Jennifer Lopez and Shakira blew everyone away at Sunday’s Super Bowl half time show, delivering booty-shaking medley of hits that drove fans wild.
Fellow Latin artists Bad Bunny and J Balvin appeared as surprise guests at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 for the National Football League championship.
Dressed in a sequined, ruby-red outfit with matching boots, Shakira, 43, led her team of dancers through snippets of hits such as Whenever, Wherever and Hips Don’t Lie, before giving way to J-Lo.

Jen, 50, made her entrance in black leather and studs on a stage set resembling the top of the Empire State Building, as Jenny from the Block proudly announced she was from the Bronx, New York.
The 12-minute halftime show has become a popular feature of the Super Bowl spectacle, which draws some 100 million viewers in the United States.

As her set progressed, J-Lo changed into a lacy body suit, unfurling a rectangular boa with the US flag on one side and the Puerto Rican flag on the other.
She then strutted to On the Floor, her 2011 hit, and Let’s Get Loud, a track from her debut 1999 album.
Their celebrity fans raved about the two stars.
“They really shut it down!!!! Congrats on that amazing SuperBowl Halftime Show @shakira @JLo,” tweeted Kim Kardashian.

Lady Gaga, who did the 2017 Super Bowl half time show, had warned J.Lo and Shakira that she didn’t want to see any lip synching on the night.
But clearly she was satisfied with the show.
“@JLo and @shakira and all the special guests were so incredible!!! What a fun halftime show I danced and smiled the whole time. Such powerful sexy women!!!! On camera and off!!!!! Love you beautiful sexy talented women.”
